Summary
With a primary purpose of recreation, this earth dam with buttress core types stands at a height of 15 feet, offering a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type, the dam is classified with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment.
The dam, completed in an unspecified year, covers a surface area of 5 acres and has a normal storage capacity of 32 acre-feet. While the condition assessment remains unrated, the risk management measures are yet to be specified. Even with the lack of certain information such as the last inspection date and emergency action plan details, it is evident that Ms04476 Lake Dam serves as a vital recreational resource in the area, providing both leisure opportunities and potential water storage benefits.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate dynamics would find Ms04476 Lake Dam intriguing due to its unique design characteristics and regulatory framework. As a key element in the local landscape, this dam warrants further study and monitoring to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness in managing water resources in the region.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
